When you walk in they have these mirrors on each side that you can take pics in or look at your outfit! They have seating at the bar and lounge area. I love the flower decor that's in the ceiling!! It gives the place a nice modern luxury touch. It's not too big but perfect for a party of 30-40 persons. They have parking in the lot right by Outback! It's easy to find and very nice to celebrate. You can also have food catered or taco truck outside venue. I will come back her for another event or maybe in the future consider renting out for myself. -Marshay D.

It's so great having other bar options instead of driving to Los Angeles to drink nowadays. This is…read moresuch an amazing spot for girls night out and for people who just want to sit by the bar to order drinks all night. Ambiance is super warm, the service and bartenders are amazing as well. I can honestly say this is one of the best bars in the 626.. Aesthetically pleasing and the drinks are actually made well. They don't use that shitty sweet and sour mix, a lot of syrups are made in house, they have a nice selection of spirits and the overall speakeasy vibes are immaculate. If I could come here every weekend I would! It's a nice spot to bring your girl after dinner or if you're on a date.

The atmosphere is always welcoming, the food and drinks are excellent, and every visit is a great experience. A special shoutout to Arthur, who consistently provides outstanding service. He always takes great care of us, and I've seen him handle a packed crowd on his own while still making sure every customer receives attentive service. His professionalism and positive attitude truly stand out. If you're looking for a place with great food, great drinks, and exceptional service, this is definitely the place to be. Highly recommended!

She also tried to convince the friend, that I was with, that I was aggressive and forcing this friend to defend Me against the racially ignorant and anti-Black bs she was spewing. The reality is that this friend is just anti-racist and did not agree with any of the ignorance being said. She spent her entire shift just spewing racial ignorance. She even tried to turn the friend, I was with, against Me. I didn't even really see her do much actual work as she spent most of her focus disturbing the 2 of us. I do want to give a shoutout to the other bartender, Gabriel. He was very kind, fun to talk to, and made great drinks. Unfortunately the woman that came in later ruined the entire experience.

What is awesome about this, and I'm sure the other businesses within this market hall is that they have televisions to play sports. The bartender was attentive and courteous.

For the dudes, don't sweat about it being called bar blossom, it's still a great place to chill and catch the game, a hidden gem. On the plus note, they do allow food inside their area.

The cucumber lycheetini and the peach mojito were super refreshing and delicious. Both were super strong but you couldn't taste the alcohol in it which made it super dangerous. The drinks weren't super sweet either and had the perfect amount of sweetness. You can really taste the cucumber and lychee in the cocktail. Same for the peach mojito. The peach flavor was apparent. My partner enjoyed the New England IPA and said it was good! Service was excellent. The bartenders there were all kind and friendly. There is plenty of seating inside the food hall and the bar section is a dedicated 21+ section so there is some dedicated bar seating. They have last call at 9:30 since they close at 10 pm on Fridays so we made sure to get our last orders in. There is plenty of parking on the side and behind the food hall and on the street. Would come back!

I ordered the Mac n' chowder, and it was a perfect mixture of clam chowder and Mac n cheese in a bread bowl. It was definitely a unique dish! The rest of my party ordered the traditional pan roast with assorted seafood, and after tasting it, I wished I had more room in my stomach! While I don't eat oysters, everyone else did and I heard nothing but good things. They even ordered another dozen (for a total of 3 dozen)! Service was fantastic. We were also able to call and get our names down for a reservation, which I'm glad we did since it started getting very crowded with a long wait during dinner time. There's plenty of parking in the lot and below ground parking structure. I would 100% come back here again and recommend it to others!

As fate would have it, I ate here with my parents instead of the originally intended dinner…read moredestination, Baek Jeong. Because the wait time was too long for that, we decided to try The Dive Oyster Bar -- and man are we sure glad we did. We got a total of five items: a bowl of clam chowder, the soft shell crab appetizer, the roasta, the traditional pan roast with the house speciality protein (with the crab on the side because of my dad's crab allergy), and the jambalaya, which for the last three we ate with medium heat. We shared everything (except for the crab appetizer because, again, crab allergy for dad) and found the food to be delicious, with each entree coming out tasting better than the last. Personally, the roasta was my favorite with the pan roast as a close second. Very flavorful dishes with medium heat being a good level for us (wasn't spicy for our Korean palates). Service was great, our server (unfortunately forgot his name) was attentive and quick with our requests, and although he forgot a side of rice, it was for the best as the food had settled in our stomachs by then and we were content with what we ordered. The restaurant itself is well maintained with ample table space and appropriate lighting, though the music from the evening DJ was a tad bit too loud to hear from across the table. Not a big mood killer for us, though mostly because the good was that good. We're not from this area, so the odds of coming here again are relatively slim -- but should the opportunity present itself, it'll be more than fate this time to take us through these doors once again.

We were warmly welcomed by the husband and wife owners and they had excellent customer service! They answered all our questions about the food and drinks with great detail. We were able to try these mocktails: Years of Therapy, Scooters SSR, Hero of Hyrule, Very Magical Cat, Phoenix Rising, All My Best, Moon & Stars Each one was so complex and you could tell that they took the time to perfect each one. I personally liked the Years of Therapy and Scooters SSR the most. I love one of their core concepts - its that you can have fun while being sober!

The owners are super sweet and treats everyone like family. The mocktail menu is creative, innovative and tasty. The more I talk to the owners about how they want to serve the community the more invested I am in helping this business succeed and spread the word about this gem!

You reach a phone booth, pick up the phone, and wait for someone to buzz you in. This bar is different from the other two bars as it's smaller, more intimate, and focused on craft cocktails. On nights and weekends though, it can still get busy. We ordered a variety of drinks and liked the menta milk punch ($18), last word ($18), and queen's park swizzle ($16). This was my first time here and I would be interested in coming back and also check out the tiki bar too. This is a cool place to go as part of your bar hopping in Old Town Pasadena.

When you enter the 35er, you take the stairs (closer to the back door) and there's a phone booth. Pick up the phone and the bartender will ask how many in your party before letting you in. The space is small. Some reviews mentioned tiki bar and this is not a tiki bar, it's a speakeasy. They have a cocktail menu and a full bar for well/cocktails. Great place for a small group.
